Orienteering

Orienteering is a sport in which competitors navigate around a predefined set of control points using a map and compass.[1] Most races involve courses which are planned specially for the event, although some permanent orienteering courses have been created for recreational use. The sport is largest in Scandinavian countries, and attracts smaller interest in the rest of Europe, Japan and the USA. Large events normally use electronic punching systems although this is not a requirement.
